The new Walmart Neighborhood Market opened its doors Wednesday morning to shoppers following a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The grand-opening celebration included presentations of $5,000 in grants from Walmart to local community groups. Grant recipients included the Pope County Library, Dwight Elementary School and Crawford Elementary School. In addition to the grants given as part of the grand opening, the new store will further Walmart’s pledge to fight hunger in America. As part of Walmart’s and the Walmart Foundation’s $2 billion commitment to fight hunger through 2015, Walmart stores in Arkansas donated approximately 16.7 million pounds of food, in fiscal year 2014, or the equivalent of 13.9 million meals. Additionally, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave more than $79 million in fiscal year 2014 in Arkansas alone.
